Henry Ford’s introduction of the Model T Ford in 1908 ignited a new era in transportation. Unlike other automobiles developed and manufactured during that time, Ford’s version attracted a wider market because it was more affordable especially to middle-class Americans. As the use of cars grew common, it pressured road development in the entire U.S. and it led to a revolution that soon connected cities to states and states to countries beyond the borders. From narrow gravel and manually-paved roads, the importance of creating wider, safer, and sturdier roadways did not just become a national necessity but also a Federal responsibility. In 2018, a majority of Americans and the government approved of the over $30-billion funding for the country’s future transportation initiatives.

Today, paving roads and other public and private spaces are as common and as important as ever. Pavement Magazine’s Top 75 Contractors survey for commercial and residential paving revealed a total of over $1.3 billion sales in asphalt and concrete paving projects generated by the country’s top paving firms.

The same companies that helped design, develop, and install the country’s safest roadways and parking spaces dominate this list below of the best paving contractors near you, across the U.S. The ranking is based on firms’ revenues, industry affiliations and certifications, their scope of services, and the accolades that they have earned over the years.
